From Wikepedia:
"HTML5 is being developed as the next major revision of HTML
(HyperText Markup Language), the core markup language of the World
Wide Web."
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5)

Or perhaps more officially, from html5.org:
"HTML5 is a new version of HTML and XHTML. The HTML5 draft
specification defines a single language that can be written in HTML
and XML."
(http://html5.org/)

Or maybe even more officially, from W3C:
See the document "HTML5: A vocabulary and associated APIs for HTML and
XHTML, W3C Working Draft 4 March 2010" at http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/

It's probably safe to call it a language, regardless of what Kon may have meant.
